RAH Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Nathan Fake, Extrawelt, Fairmont, Holden, Luke Abbot, avus.... I'm not even touching on genres and what they do best combining things. Regardless of all that, it's great electronic music. Their sense of aesthetic is just spot on all the time. I don't think they've ever published something that was... close to awful (at least the ones i've got, which is not the whole discography)... but what I have heard is as close to brilliant as it can get for me right now. just wanted to share. Anybody else on the same train? http://www.discogs.com/label/Border+Community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I haven't visited recently, but they have their act together, and have created a very nice corner for themselves with a nice aesthetic. The only music I really liked from them was Extrawelt, but that may have changed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yerg Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 One of the best. Nathan Fake - the Sky Was Pink (James Holden remix) - what can i say more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 James Holden has made some very good tracks and remixes. But those Nathan Fake tunes are what you get when you strip 4x4-dance-music of anything that could possibly make it enjoyable, energetic, powerful, emotional or interesting. So it's a mixed bag for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Nathan fake has some great tracks outside anything that is related to "Drowning in a sea of love" Some of his later stuff i.e: hard islands is arguably strange at points... but looking back it has some great things. Holden, has some huge classics as well signed under that windmill... outhouse, a break in the clouds and just for strangeness' sake, ricardo tobar, which is not much my thing, but still pretty good. Without forgetting the very elusive Luke Abott, that turned into one of my all time fav listens and has little to do with dance and a lot more with electro IDM of sorts... They have even done the comercial really well with misstress barbara that turned out quite tasteful... most of this is actually rather old now, but it sounds shiny new to me... it's rewarding label to explore.

yerg Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 i was listenning to Holden's Live dj sets recently - actually two of his sets: one from Igloofest (Canada) and the other from Rex Club (Paris) - both 2009 - he played a lot of unreleased (or soon to be released tunes) of Border Community and i have to say it is the most innovative and creative minimal-tech sound i've ever heard if you have any chance listen to those (easy to find via google) - both 3 hours long - a trip guaranteed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
